PlayStation's next-gen VR headset will allegedly have 4K resolution, eye tracking & wired connection
In March, we got a peek at what the PlayStation's next-gen VR controllers will look like, but details of the VR headset itself has been scant. But those details might have been revealed in an exclusive report from UploadVR. The information from the report however need to be taken with a pinch of salt as the reporter cites only "multiple" and "reliable" sources that corroborate those details. Now that you have your salt shakers ready, let's see what those alleged specs of the next-gen PS VR headset are.
UploadVR's sources mention a resolution of 4000×2040 pixels (2000×2040 per eye), a lens separation adjustment dial and gaze tracking capable of foveated rendering. The latter refers to the headset's ability to output better resolution at the area you are directly looking at while reducing the resolution of the area in your peripheral vision, all this thanks to a built-in eye tracker. The headset will also feature a built-in motor for "developers to give direct haptic feedback".
According to the report, the next-gen headset will feature outward-facing cameras to track the controllers' position, somewhat akin to the system used in Oculus Quest headsets. As for pairing the device to the console, this will be possible through a USB-C connection, making it a wired VR headset.
What do you think of this news? Would you consider to get a next-gen PS VR headset with those specs?
